Any hardware or landscape center will carry what look like half sticks of dynamite. They are caustic smoke bombs designed to kill these animals.

The same way as moles, press your heel firmly into the tunnels to collapse them, and then set up traps so that you can catch them. If you do not want to kill them, pressing down the tunnels should help.

You will probably have to trap or kill the ground squirrels first. One way to get rid of tunnels is to mash the mounds down with your heels. After the tunnel mounds are mashed down, most of the time the squirrels will go else where so he feels more "welcome."

Are you sure they are squirrels that are making the tunnels? Some other animals make tunnels in the grass, moles, chipmunks, rabbits. This has happened on our lawn and the only time squirrels make holes is in the fall when they are hidding their food or nuts for the winter months.
